Finally, Mojang’s massively popular world-building game is coming to Nintendo in the form of Minecraft: Wii U edition. Available digitally via the Nintendo eShop, you’ll be able to download Minecraft: Wii U edition from December 17, and it will come with a selection of some of the current popular Minecraft add-ons, including:

Battle & Beasts Skin Pack
Battle & Beasts 2 Skin Pack
Natural Texture Pack
City Texture Pack
Fantasy Texture Pack
Festive Mash-up Pack

It has also been announced that 16 additional skin packs, texture packs and mash-up packs will be available to buy when the game releases on the Nintendo eShop. These are:

Festive Skin Pack
The Simpsons Skin Pack
Doctor Who Skins Volume 1
Doctor Who Skins Volume 2
Star Wars Classic Skin Pack
Star Wars Rebels Skin Pack
Star Wars Prequel Skin Pack
Mass Effect Mash-up Pack
Skyrim Mash-up Pack
Plastic Texture Pack
Candy Texture Pack
Cartoon Texture Pack
Steampunk Texture Pack

Mojang has announced that they are working with Nintendo on bringing exclusive content for Minecraft. Imagine Mario, Zelda, Kirby, Metroid and Pokémon all blocky and pixelated (breathe!). It’s also worth mentioning that the game will be playable on the Wii U pad if other family members are being boring and watching some rubbish on the TV.

Keep calm and hang tight – it’s only 10 days away.
